Power Flow Control in Virtual Power Plant LV Network

Elena Sosnina, Alexandr Chivenkov, Andrey Shalukho, Nikita Shumskii

Abstract


The article is devoted to the study of power flow control in Virtual Power Plant (VPP) low voltage (LV) network by controlling a voltage vector. The authors have developed and made an experimental device to run the voltage phase angle (0.4 kV) - Power Flow Control Device (PFCD). The experimental research is made with both PFCD and a physical VPP network model. The authors show the electric parameters VPP LV network dependence on the value of variable voltage phase angle.

Keywords
